Spanish newspaper reports have shown that the Barcelona club has managed to activate the second economic lever in order to emerge from the economic crisis that it has suffered in the last period.

The Catalan club activated the first economic leverage with the Six Streets Fund, so that Barca managed to complete the contract with the Brazilian Rafinha from Leeds United and the Pole Robert Lewandowski from Bayern Munich.

According to the Spanish newspaper Sport, the second lever will help Barça register new players, as well as give them a strong momentum to solve all their current financial problems.

The newspaper, citing Ashraf Ben Ayyad, who is close to the Catalan club, confirmed that Barcelona had activated the second lever.

The second lever means selling 15% of the television rights over 25 years, raising $400 million in capital gains, and amortizing $100 million in a loan from Goldman Sachs.
